Gaudreau has been better at every development year in his NHL career.
Look at the contracts that are going to 80+ point players. If you think 6.375 - 7M doesn't make any sense at all.
Like I said, if that's the position being taken by Treliving, then its no wonder we are talking about a potential hold out with Gaudreau.

Again, he is not (yet) an 80+ point player.
And if you look at guys that are making $8M+, they all have a longer track record than Gaudreau, and they typically have playoff success on their resume as well.
He is not going to get more money than Tarasenko - he will get less. And if his camp thinks he should get more, the Flames will be starting the season without him.
